Passe-Passe Bottles
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Revision as of 10:01, 17 July 2015 by Professor JR (Talk | contribs) (minor edit further describing the effect and its presentation.)
Passe-Passe Bottles is a classic illusion in which a whiskey bottle, and a glass or tumbler, magically and inexplicably exchange places under cover of two cylindrical tubes at the hands of the performer.[1] A marvelous, classic illusion when performed well in a swiftly placed manner, with an entertaining patter.[2]
This effect was commonly used by performers at least by 1876.[1]
See also Multiplying Bottles, an modern extension of this effect.[3].
